We ate our delicious sandwiches from Dinis restaurant and toured the square....

At 8 pm we took a cab to Dinis restaurant were we had a delicious supper. Its in a tent outside the chabad house in Beijing. Very nice and delicious food. We got back to the hotel at 11 pm and each took a massage by a place across the street open till late. Nice place, they had a man doing it for me.

after a full day of touring we headed to the chabad restaurant,dini's,which currently was under construction and was based out of the chabad house,pretty much an open grill each night we were there,good food and very nice people! each night we were there,we ordered food for lunch the next day so that was really helpful. we headed to dinis for a delicious supper. at night the chabad rabbi sent over their household help to babysit our daughter as me we spent the night exploringfrom there we had another great dinner at dinis followed by massages across from the hotel.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Great! @DTM, Can you tell us more about your meals at Dini's?We'll be staying at the Fairmont soon, and they said they contacted Dini's and Dini's said they couldn't provide breakfast.

We made arrangements directly, rather than through the hotel, and our hotel was sufficiently close by that the delivery man came via bicycle. I met him in the lobby. My wife and I called and spoke with Rebitzen Dini from home in advance (using Google Voice App) and then picked up on WeChat. The food was good. The Shabbos meals were excellent; weekday dinners were fine, maybe like Yun Kee or Wok Tov in NY. We were there in May 2017.

So that means if I travel to China for 4 days only I do not need any Visa?

Depends. There are restrictions on who and how can use the transit. If you travel from country A to Beijing and have an onward ticket to country B with a US passport then you are good to go. Let' say you fly from Denver to Beijing, spend 4 days there and then continue from Beijing to Seoul, then you can use this visa-free transit.
